I also get the same noise, it is not a constant and I can not tie it down to a certain temp or anything. The first time it happened I thought someone hit my truck, but no one was around. Sometimes when I get this noise the truck also jumps forward a bit (automatic). I am interested to see what others may think it is. I also get the same noise that someone else was talking about, a clunking when making a turn like it is in 4X4 but it is not. Any suggestions?

Is it a crew cab? If so, check the cab mounting bolts. Mine needed to be retorqued. Longer wheel base frame flexes more than the shorter trucks, and cab creaks - especially slow, sharp turns on a hill. Sometimes a real pronounced banging. Bolts are a chore to get to as interior trim and carpet/padding have to come up in order to access a couple of them.

I have a 02 F250 PS and I also head the loud thump just after start up when cold. My salesman told me that it is just the heater door slamming shut as over time the system looses vacuum and the door opens, when the truck starts and the vacuum build back up the door slams shut. It is pretty loud and makes you say " what was that?!!!!"

Has anyone installed aftermarket gauges for turbo boost,pyro,trans temp or rear end temp? looking at installing a pod set up, I am mechanically inclined but I dont really want to be drilling holes in housings and the like. sure would like to "see" what things are doing under the hood and the factory gauges are junk.

I added pyro and boost gauges to my 2004 F-250. You have to drill and tap a hole in the aluminum housing right on top of the engine in front. I loosened the clamps and swung it about 90 degrees, stuffed it full of rags to keep any shavings out. For the pyro, you drill a hole in the exhaust just back of the turbo and it installs with a stainless steel clamp and a ceramic washer, again pretty simple. Biggest challenge was locating wires for lights and one that is hot when ignition is on. I bought the package from Cabella. Gauges work great and tell you when to back off if you need to. I have a stick shift so didn't need tranny gauge.

As you probably know, the truck stops have very quick fill ups due to the fact they typically fill very large semi-truck tanks. I am not aware of any problems this could have on your f250. The only thing is maybe the fuel becomes more frothy due to the agitation, maybe more air in the tank. But this is just reaching. Seems harmless. I have filled up at these places and have not had any problems. Hope this helps

I dont know if I want to do that, I would rather pay someone than screw it up myself. Dont like the drilling part, shavings and stuff. Thanks for the info.
